Bump Date: 25 Weeks

How far along:

25 weeks

Total weight gain:

+7
Don't ask me how this is happening, because I ate 2 pumpkin cookies and M&Ms last night around 10. That was after dinner and a bowl of cereal of few hours later.

Size of baby:

Rutabaga

Maternity Clothes:

I've got a few normal dresses and stretchy pants I can wear, but the rest are maternity.

Not gunna lie, I'm ready for some fall weather and fall clothes!!

Gender:

It's a BOY!!! 

Baby Boy's Name:

Oliver Gammill

Oliver- after my Great Grandmother Olive / Gammill (like camel with a 'G')- Andrew's mom's maiden name, as well as Andrew's middle name

Movement:

Yes!  

Little man is very active these days and I love it.  He is constantly reminding me he's in there and constantly reminding me how much he loves throwing bows.  Anytime he throws an elbow it can't be just once.  He needs to do it at least 3 times to be sure I felt it. 

*Favorite Bouncy Spot: my bladder

*Favorite Bounce Time: evening (5ish), bedtime.

Sleep:

Bathroom breaks are at about 2 a night and I'm pretty much a side sleeper now.  I may wake up on partial belly, but he's sure to let me know when he's uncomfortable.

What I miss:

Sometimes I just want to lay on my tummy. Not really gunna happen.

Cravings/Aversions:

Cravings: Sausage, Egg & Cheese Toasters, Auntie Anne's Almond Pretzels with Carmel, MILK and pretty much any tasty looking food picture I have to have pronto

Aversions: fish still doesn't sound good on any level

Other Symptoms:

1- Still NESTING

2- Had a few tired waves here and there. Not sure if that's pregnancy related or husband being gone related.

3- Oh sciatica...  I may not start the day so bad but if you catch me at the end of the day (especially a day with lots of walking) I'm in full waddle mode.

Big moment this week:

 Nothing extraordinary, so I just fill this space with another belly pic.  =)

Thanks for checkin' in!!
